Holibobs (only because i know some hate it ! ) where you off to ?
So where you going this year then for some sun and relaxation ?
We've only got the one trip planned (Although Mrs Weeksy may have another one for her) and that's to Morzine. 11 days in the Alps, hitting Champery for the first few days for the boy to race the European Champs, then Morzine with @crust and @Couchy for the remainder, before a final day or two in Mid-France before getting home. It'll be semi-relaxing, semi-insane and hopefully lots of fun. We'll be taking tonnes of beers, tonnes of bikes and lots of smiles.

We're going to Denmark soon...Mrs D is half Danish so we're doing a combined holiday and family visit.
Baby D doesn't want to go to Legoland. What kind of 6 year old doesn't want to go to Legoland?

Take an excursion to Aldershot.

A few days in Cumbria seeing friends
A few days in Bude, ditto
A week in France, ditto (albeit wife has dementia and will probably not remember us )
However, I'm retired, Filly retires this summer. And we now have the puppy. So lots and lots of opportunities for '3 Go ... ' jolly adventures

Re: Holibobs (only because i know some hate it ! ) where you off to ?
I think I've had my holiday for the year!! The coldest 10 days I've ever had and the vow to be much more picky about who I spend time with!!
I'm hoping to have some time and petrol money to go see some friends over here this summer. Having the CB1000 to use will make that far more possible. Just have to see how far I can ride comfortably then see how many days I can do away
Start a three month course on 13th August, so don't think I'll be doing much after that date
But a trip to the Correze and maybe a bit further on is definitely on the list. Not sure I'll be able to do the Route de Napoleon this year (or on the CB1000) but we'll see

Not booked yet but probably Crete in June.
Although I always go where the weather is, so I'll book last minute and if there's clouds over Greece I'll just fly somewhere further West.

There's one bar on a back street full of locals and smoke.
I almost won a dodgy dice game, I don't think I'd have got out alive if I'd taken the jackpot.
The Lego hotel is cool, I stayed in a Pirate room.

I'll post some pictures from one of my hols next week.
Prefer to spend most of the holiday money learning stuff, doing residential courses in nice places. Quite fancy doing a woad/'pastel'* dyeing course in a chateau in France - with side trips down memory lane via Brussels and Paris.
* Among the few natural sources of blue dye is a plant called isatis tinctoria –known as pastel in French and woad in English. Pigment derived from this plant can produce astonishing shades of blue.

Re: Holibobs (only because i know some hate it ! ) where you off to ?
If the weather ever breaks we'll start going away at least one weekend each month in the campervan. I'm taking most of August off and we're off to Nerja in Spain for a week for a holiday/look around. When we're back here we might go to Cornwall as the wife wants to go back again, but I fancy popping over to Normandy, couple of days in Le Touquet, Honfleur etc. But her Mum is 93 with worsening dementia, so Nerja aside as its paid for, most other plans are only pencilled in...

Got the bank holiday week at the end of next month off, will probably spend that riding around Wales returning home most evenings.
A week at the end of June we're riding over to the east coast for a weeks worth or riding up and down with a decent cottage & hot tub to soak in of an evening.
That leaves me with 10 more days to take this year, we may or may not use them for something.
